Scorpio is the sign of depth, intimacy and what's shared. Saturn there asks for trust that survives being tested, and control you can put down.
People in this return often describe questions about trust. What am I guarding, and from whom? What would change if I stopped managing how much people see? Saturn return in Scorpio.
Saturn describes the work, not the outcome. Nothing on this page predicts events; it dates the stretch and says what it tends to ask.

Each year Saturn appears to stop, back up for a few months and move forward again. If your birth degree sits inside one of those loops, Saturn crosses it three times; otherwise once. Across December 1953 the birth degree moves past the edge of a loop, so 1 Dec 1953 gets three exact passes, 15 Dec 1953 gets three exact passes and 31 Dec 1953 gets one exact pass.
No. Saturn moved about 3° across the whole of December 1953, so your day matters far more than your hour. Noon is used on this page; the free preview takes a time if you have one.
